Dc9.jpg

The small, speedy and efficient DC-9 was one of the longest-produced jetliners of all time, with a production run spanning 41 years.

The design of the DC-9 was completely new, with T-tail and rear fuselage mounted engines. The aircraft was purpose-built for short to medium routes, and to serve smaller airports, often poor equipped and with short runways which bigger aircrafts like Boeing 707 couldn’t serve. This made the DC-9 popular and widely used. There was build nearly 2500 DC-9 in more than 11 different variants.

There has been made a special version of DC-9 for military purposes, named McDonnell Douglas C-9.


The picture shows a DC-9-82 (from 1983 designated MD82) introduced in 1982.
